"The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep," Obama cautioned. Young and charismatic but with little experience on the national level, Obama smashed through racial barriers and easily defeated ...

The only path to peace in Syria is arming the rebels.The US has been providing special weapons instruction to the rebels since mid 2012, about a year ago.

Read the post of those who want more war like Realtime, but stay safe at their computer while PEOPLE DIE and you will find hypocrisy, self-deception, a bigot, greed, supplication, immaturity, lack of poise and Realtime whining and crying with childish self-hate...

<quoted text>It doesn't,but drilling for more oil gets us deeper into debt and dependency to foreign oil---using up your own scarcer oil resources first puts you faster at the mercy of other states with greater oil reserves. Best practices would be to save your own scarce oil (leave it in the ground) and develop more plentiful reserves of energy alternatives that you have more readily at hand and the inexpensive ,simple technology to develop it from the sun, wind, and earth.

<quoted text>Yeah, roughly the same number of people who watched the final episode of America's Got Talent "disapprove" of being spied on.

I don't think anyone likes the idea of being spied on, but we are powerless. The machine is too big for anyone to conquer, no matter who runs for President. Who expands these powers? Congress.Perhaps we are not meant to know the extent if these practices, if we know then so do our enemies. Do you really think the NSA is listening to Aunt Battie Lou's and Whatever's conversations?

Scarce? Who've you been listening to, the Saudis?

Wind, solar and battery power are, at this point, novel possibilities. We can't depend on 'alternatives' that haven't been perfected. Oil utilization has been perfected. The infrastructure is in place, the cost, in comparison, is low. What, exactly, would we "save" our petroleum resources for?

If lower prices and a North Dakota-like economic boom aren't enough, the political implications with the Arab world should be enough to go balls out with "drill, baby, drill."

<quoted text>Galt is bored by the abortion discussion and by Conservatives that allow themselves to get dragged down by this losing issue.No change will ever occur except by SCOTUS.Let's focus on something that we can actually change.

Write to Boehner and mcConnel, and all of the rest of your merry band of Morans. They don't have the guts to stand up to the tea party and evangelists

<quoted text>Or to use the polls again and something more applicable.Those who "approve" being spied on was roughly the same number who approved of Obama's job performance at the time of the polls.Obama's number have slipped since then.

Perhaps just another odd "coincidence" but about the same number of people who prefer chocolate over vanilla and strawberry.
